Festival dances highlight Pampanga Day opening
CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — The Pampanga Provincial Government launched on Thursday its opening of the 441st Aldo Ning Kapampangan by bringing together the various festival dances in the province in one celebration of local history.
Dubbed as “Pamamupul” (Harvest) Festival, the event featured dances from Pampanga’s rich traditional ritual celebrations of Sasmuan’s Kuraldal to the local government-invented dance celebrations of recent times.
Governor Lilia Pineda said the event aimed at providing people with the opportunity to see festival dances in one celebration as part of the overall celebration of the province’s founding anniversary.
Provincial Tourism officer Arwin Lingat said the celebration was a “harvest” of the rich festival celebrations of the province, which are only staged once a year.
“People will now have a unique opportunity to see these dance celebrations in one event and they would no longer have to wait for almost a year just to see them,” Lingat said.
Lingat said this is first time the Provincial Government has brought together all festival traditions in the province under one celebration.
Various towns trooped to the Pampanga Provincial Capitol staging their signature festival dances, which include Candaba (Ibon-Ebun Festival), Mabalacat (Caragan Festival), Floridablanca (San Jose Festival), Lubao (Sampaguita Festival), Magalang (Kamaru Festival), Mexico (San Nicolas Festival), Porac (Binulo Festival), Angeles City (Bagius Festival), San Simon (Sun-See-Moon Festival), Bacolor (Makatapak Festival), Arayat (Manga Festival), Sta. Rita (Duman Festival), and Sasmuan (Kuraldal).
Of the said celebrations, Kuraldal is considered as the oldest with the rest as recent inventions for tourism attractions.
Today, the second day of the celebrations will feature the “Aldo Ning Mangabiayan and OFW” at the Bren Z. Guiao Convention Center, simultaneous with the “Agro, Industrial, Trade, Food, Cultural, Arts and Crafts Fair” at the trade hall of SM City Pampanga.
The main highlights of the celebrations are the Mutya Ning Kapampangan Pre-Pageant (SM City Clark) and Coronation Night (Bren Z. Guiao Convention Center) on December 7 and 10, respectively, and the Most Outstanding Kapampangan Awards on December 11.
